ICEHOUSE MUSIC ARTISTS SERVICE
Icehouse knows the value of relationships and we’ve developed our business model by tuning into the personal side of today’s music industry trends. We support the contemporary philosophy that the artist/songwriter wants to retain their publishing interests and work through their own record label. With this in mind, Icehouse offers an array of services from working with the artist in finding and arranging the songs for their new album to handling the logistics for a national post-release tour with a special stop in Los Angles to receive your Grammy!

Our services include:

BRICK AND MORTAR DISTRIBUTION
We combine the best of traditional big-box distribution with an aggressive network of nontraditional stores to maximize sales. We place our point-of-purchase CD Boxes in locations along our state’s major highways, in popular rural and urban retail spots, and quality retail venues not generally associated with CD sales (think coffee shops; independent and aesthetically themed book, gift, and clothing stores; restaurants and BBQ spots; specialty shops [particularly in airports], and merchandise stands at special events and concerts). Additionally, Icehouse is forming strategic partnerships that will facilitate distribution our catalogue to traditional record retailers, major retail chains, and box stores like Hastings, Wal Mart, and Best Buy. As your national fan base expands, we will make sure that your CDs are available to customers nationwide. We also call upon our relationships with international companies to create a comprehensive distribution plan for particular artists and projects. Texas artists are renowned for their international influence and their ability to create powerful pockets of popularity around the world. We will effectively service those markets. Finally, because we encourage the artist to sell his or her product at their public appearances, we make sure that the Icehouse artist is well stocked at extremely reasonable wholesale prices.
